Art and Clothing.

The tailor like the artist, has ideaize.
H.must see his best. But the best rarely ex-
lists. Mr.. Topper said lady the great English
painter, 81 don't see in Nature the effects which you
produce in your pictures" Don't you wish you
could ?" was the reply.
The best grade of Ready made Clothing of to-day
is cut and designed exactly this principle. 1t is
shaped after perfect models and all its parts in
proportion. 1t shows the best possible advantage
good physique and up the defects of bad
Some of the best talent in the country is employed in
its creation Not few New York manufacturers pay
their head cutters salaries ranging from four
thousand dollars year.
1t is Clothing of the superlative which abounds
here prices ranging from $40 and up. Some of the
cloths fine imported stufs in handsome figures In
finish and qbaity these goods quite equal

Indeed, we have sold more than one suit this Sum
mer to who have hitherto had their Clothing to
Order.
The trouble is few be made to realize, without
seeing the perfection that has been attained in Ready
made Clothing.
They only need to see to be convinced.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
GAS EXPLOSION.

+. }. Clark, Book-keeper In the Con-
troller's Office, Seriously Injured.
After the State Controller removed his
office to the southeastern end of the Capt.
toll. occupying the rooms on the south side
of the hall running east and west. he OBJ
tanned permission to use the vault in room
No. 10, on the north side of the hall which
was used by the Secretary of the Supreme
Court when that tribunal was permanently
located in Sacramento. Some alterations are
to be made, but the vault has been used for
the storage OF such of the Controllers books
as are not frequently used. SATURDAY. after
noon F J. Clark, the book keeper, having
occasion to use some document that was
in the vault, went there for it. As he
opened the door he noticed a smell of gas.
but, having catarrhal trouble, he did not
realize how serious the matter was, but
stepped back for a few seconds until he
thought the gas had time to escape and
then lighted match and stepped toward
the burner in the vault. As he did so he
saw the gas in the vault ignite, and in
stantly turned his face to retreat, when
there was terrific explosion which Jared
the entire building, turning door-mats over
in some instances. An investigation as to
the cause OF the explosion was quickly en-
tered upon. Mr.. Clark was found living
upon the floor unconscious, his head cut
and hands and face badly burned Sweet
oil was applied to the burns, and he was
then removed to his room, at the residence
of }. ]. O'Connor, 1900 X street, where
physician attended upon him. His in
juries are not dangerous, unless it
should be that be is burned internally.
A singular fact in connection with the
explosion is that in room Is in which it
occurred, and in No. II, next to it, no dam
age was done, but the door between rooms
IA and 10, which was locked at the time,
was split and blown open, the lower sash
of the east and north windows blown out.
the blinds shattered, and the furniture
tossed about. 1t seemed strange that all
the damage should have been done so far
away, especially as the window in room IA
was open, yet the force of the explosion
passed through that room eastward. How
the gas accumulated in the vault is mat
Ter of conjecture but it is surmised that
the last person who went there forgot to
turn it off, and it went out when the air in
the vault was exhausted leaving opportu-
nifty Tor the gas TO escape from the burner.
